# Psalms 25:14 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
The counsel of the LORD is with them that fear Him; and His covenant, to make them know it.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** counsel, ways, LORD · **What happens:** be, fear, make, know, covenant · **To what, where:** LORD, ways, counsel

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Psalms 25:14 · JPS 1917 in the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, from Mova's open Bible corpus. The page gives the sentence's syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, parsed by Mova and checked by a teacher model — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (counsel, ways, LORD), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it. The original of the verse links back to its own tree and to the Targum.
